ati cheating in crysis benchmark?

[saaya]

But you did change it once you were made aware that the originator didn't imply or say such.

no, i knew it all along, i changed it cause razz suggested it, and i trust him and agree that it was easy to misunderstand.

I didn't know that any potential bug found is now defined as a cheat during a review of competing products . If I tin foil that in I could see how that may be cheating.

a bug that reduces image quality in favor of performance is nothing special at all for you? the last time i remember a "bug" improving performance it was nvidias geforce fx drivers removing the entire dragon from 3dmark 2001 and rendering a hot chic flying through the air with spread legs instead of riding a beast.

i cant believe how you and others dont seem to care that ati is toying with the iq of your card without telling you and without letting you disable this optimization... how can you claim that this is just a bug? and even if it IS, dont you think ati should have spotted this during their QA testing of the driver?

Are you sure? That screenshot is 90% identical between GTX480 and 5870.
And i just replayed crysis & warhead in a 40" tv and didn't notice any flickering.

How about more screenshots and comparisons?

im sure that its more than 90%, its still clearly visible...

and if you dont notice any flickering... good for you?
no idea if your screen being that big makes a difference... at what res and how many fps were you playing it at? at high fps and low res on a huge screen you probably notice it less?
